At times to be alone is good. -Thus self is betterr understood. -Old Mother Nature. The most lonesome person in all the Green Forest Mas a young Cmw. He belonged to the flock 501! which Blacky was leader, but

suffered only I one-trick defeat, minus 100.

Only one East-West. pair bought the contract - at five clubs doubl- ed, down two, 300. This was a pretty good match-point score for Tt.hat East-West.

I The lowest: North-South score on illlle board was earned by that pair twho sadly overrated the cards and llandefi at six hearts, redowbled. ,'llhis south went down three (in some fashion or other) and the iopposlng East-West received the isum of 1000 points, and top on the ;board.

g It was impossible for East-West to defeat a mere four-heart con- tract if the declarer played the ihand reasonably well, but the ioxtra trick made in two cases was the result of bad defense. At these tables. the club ace was opened, and both declarers runfed. Vvhen ta low spade was cleverly led f1";.n ithe closed hand, both Wests fea.td ythat South was leading away from IQ-J-I0, so they' both put up the honor and persisted with clubs. isouth miffed again and led the lspadc queen. Once more a. club was ircturned, and new South was in tcontrol. He ruffed for the third itime, drew trumps by cashing the ace, overtaking the queen and tcashlng the jack, then could claim lthe rest of the tricks with good spades, the diamond ace, and clummy's long trump.

These Wests could have saved the cavertriok easily enough by leading a third round of spades instead of the third round of clubs.

he was no longer with the flock. A very dreadful thing had hap- pened to him. He had been shot. and one wing so badly hurt that he could not fly. For several clays he had hardly moved from his porch half way up in a lone cedar tree. He had felt too badly to move. Also, he had felt too frightened to move. He didnlt understand at all what had happened. There had been a dreadiful noise, and at the same time something, he did not know what, had hurt him dread- fully. He had flown atway from that place where this dreadtful thing had happened. but he could not fly well, and when he reached the lone cedar tree, he could hardly lift that hurt wing.

At first he had felt too bad to be lonesome; he wasn't even hungry, In a way, it would have been better for him had he been killed instead of just wounded. Then there would have been no suffering, no frlgiht, no wondering what to do.

He was sure that he was the most unlucky Grow in all the Green Forest. He was sure that nothing worse could have happen- ed to him. That was a mistake on his part. It is always a. mistake to think that nothing worse could happen. He might have starved to death there. and he hadn”t. This was because Blacky. the wise leader of the flock, had found him and told the other members of the flock. They had brought him food every day since. Sometimes he didn't get as much as he would have liked, but he got enough to keep him alive. That is what came of beiniz a member of "the flock.

The flock, often called the black gang. live up to the belief in one for all and all for one. This is the spirit of true neigvhboniiness. So it was that they did not for- get the lrnhappv one alone in the most lonesome place in the Green

Forest. They were busy folk, those members of the black gang. The nesting season was close at hand. There were new nests to be built. and old nests to be made over. Yer, everyday. some member of the flock found time to pay him a visit. and bring him a. scrap of food. But most of each day, and all of each night, he was alone.

Now it is a good thing to be a- lone.. Yes. sir. it is a good thing to be alone for a while. It is the only way to get acquainted with one's self. Folks who never are alone. never really know them- selves, But is isn't good to be too much atlone. One who is left. too much alone is likely to get the bad habit of self pity. and to for- get the value of friendship. and how to make friends. In all the

Great World are none to be so piiled as those who have no friends.

After a few days the lone Crow got down to the tround by hop- ping from branch to branch That cedar tree stood a little apart from other trees, and so it had branches on all sides from the top all the way down to the ground. He didn't have to uso his wings. he could just hop down from branch to branch. and hm up asmin the same way. He had sort 0' a tree ladder, or "tree stairway. He didn't know it. but going up and down this was good exercise, and he needed exercise. Everybody needs exercise. On the ground he walked about. but he never walked far from that tree. and when he ;zrPw tired he.
